Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The treatment of microtia including prosthetic ear prosthesis, costal cartilage insertion, Madpor scaffold implanted into bone joint planting, but the pros and cons is different, and its effect also has advantage and disadvantage.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prosthetic effect on the treatment of partial microtia with prosthetic reconstruction of simulation materials.
METHODS: Two cases with partial microtia were selected. According to the defect of auricle, the prosthesis was made by two-component cold curing silastic, the prosthesis was fixed to the defect with medical adhesive. The aesthetic outcomes and patient's own satisfaction were evaluated under different light, distance and environment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The auricle can achieve good visual effects after treatment of prosthetic reconstruction in 2 cases with partial microtia. Prosthetic treatment of partial defects in microtia patients, its method is simple without surgery, good repeatability and easy maintenance. When the prosthesis cannot be identified beyond 1.5 meters at daytime, the patients showed preferable satisfaction.
